Empty Sky Memorial at Liberty State Park
The Empty Sky Memorial, located in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, honors the victims of the September 11 attacks. The memorial consists of two parallel stainless steel walls engraved with the names of New Jersey’s lost, aligned to point directly toward Ground Zero across the Hudson River. Photographers can capture striking perspectives of the walls leading the eye toward the Manhattan skyline, with dramatic results at sunrise, sunset, or nighttime when the city lights glow in the distance. Each September, the Tribute in Light ceremony shines beams into the sky, creating a moving and photogenic scene visible from the memorial. The site is easily accessible by walking paths within the park and offers both emotional depth and strong visual impact. (Jersey City, New Jersey, USA)
